iTunes Store – Price increase…
… Or am I dreaming? (or well, having a nightmare!?)
[if you click on it you actually see something!]
Ok. Last time I checked the iTunes store, in Switzerland (where I currently live, and a friend of mine has a Swiss iTunes Store account) the most expensive songs (the “hits”?) were rated at 2.- chf – In Italy (where I have my iTunes Store account) most expensive songs were rated at 1.29 euro.
Now, the Swiss Store has always been more expensive (1.29 euro ~= 1.70 chf) – but now!? Are you joking!? 2.20 chf, as shown in the pictures, it’s 1.66 euro, or, for the US guys it’s 2.03 usd!!!
I find this price increase outrageous. We (everyone that’s not living in the US) have always been paying more for our songs (0.99 euro [1.21 usd] and 1.50 chf [1.39 usd]). But now it’s even worse.
It just doesn’t make sense, anymore, so what? I just feel robbed. And robbed. Over again. 10% price increase What’s next?
Bye bye.
